I'm willing to bet that 99% of those programs were bad teams the year before and did not come out blowing the doors off their opponent first game of the year.
Colorado had the ultimate recruiting tool in Deion Sanders and have superior talent to the Badgers. I would venture to believe they will be a better team than us sooner rather than later.
We're starting to look like a ranked team now. Let's remember that this is a completely rebuilt program and it will take time to gel. Buffalo isn't exactly a cakewalk. If I were a betting man I would've taken the points on this one.
